[Machine] "And the Messenger ﷺ settled with the tribe of Qurayzah until they asked him to appoint a judge between him and them. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Choose from my Companions whom you want, and we will listen to his words.' So they chose Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was pleased with their choice. He commanded them to bring their weapons, and they were placed in a house. He ordered them to shave their heads and to tie themselves up, so they were placed in the home of Usamah ibn Zayd. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for Sa'd ibn Mu'adh and he arrived riding on a donkey with an Arab man who claimed that his donkey's hooves were wounded from the roughness of the ground. Sa'd walked beside him, extolling the rights of the tribe of Qurayzah, reminding them of their oath, and how they were put to test on the Day of Bi'thah (Pledge of Allegiance). They chose you above others in hopes of your mercy and compassion towards them. So hasten to them, for they are assets to you and they are numerous.' This man repeated this many times, and Sa'd did not respond to him until they came closer. The man asked him, 'Will you not turn back and do something to me?' Sa'd replied, 'By Allah, I do not care for the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah.' So the man left and went back to his people in despair, informing them of what Sa'd told him. They thought that Sa'd had refused to speak to them, so they sent him with a message to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'O Sa'd, judge between us and them.' Sa'd said, 'I judge that their fighters should be killed, their women and children taken as captives, and their wealth seized.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Sa'd has given judgement with the judgement of Allah.' Some people claim that they were not content with the judgement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent back the jurisdiction of the matter to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh. They sent messengers to Sa'd one after the other and their heads were struck off. The last one to be killed was Huwayy ibn Akhtab. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, 'May Allah disgrace you!' Huwayy replied, 'You have come to know me well, and I do not blame myself regarding you.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for him to be taken out to the oil market and his head was struck off. All of this was done by the command of Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, and it is claimed that Sa'd was acquitted from any guilt. He took refuge behind Allah's oath of innocence. Then he supplicated to Allah saying, 'O Allah, Lord of the skies and the earth, there is no people on the face of the earth whom I hate more than those who lied against Your Messenger and expelled him. I think that You have put an end to the fighting between us and them. If there is any fighting left between us, then let me fight them in You. And if You have put an end to the fighting between us and them, then cause this spot to be destroyed and let me die here.' So Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, caused the spot to be destroyed, and he died right there. The statement of Allah (in the Quran) was fulfilled, and Allah's mercy be upon him."
